  I have a VW TDI with 110K miles. I just overhauled the head do to a broke timing built. What I found with the VW is the intake/TB gets caked up from breather oil. Mine was restricted by about 50%. Yes mine smoked.
  The other thing is there is a sencer between the air filter box and TB. It regulates the fuel to the injectors by monitoring air flow. If this goes you should have a loss of power.
  Let me know if this helped.

Thomas,
best I can think of is very rich mixture. At full power you are getting too-little air, or too much unburned fuel?  Maybe your turbo does not keep up with the engine at high rpm?

Buly,

I tought so too. (Was a Engine-man on Merchant Ships in a different live :))
However it only does it at WOT (or the diesel equivalent...), not ANY indication of smoke anywhere else.
There is lots of Toyota Diesels running around here and a lot DO smoke all the time - I assume negligence with maintenance...).
If you are familiar with the claims of Acetone in fuel (should  clean the fuel system just fine....), it should help a lot with  keeping the injectors clean.
110K km is normaly nothing for a Toyota Diesel....

Probably I am just fishing for a different explanation - no shops  to do such a job (Injector adjustments/overhaul) around here.
Any tests I can do to rule out other causes?

Thomas, the black smoke usually comes from injectors that do not pulverize the fuel, but dribble instead. I see it on boats all  the time. Overhauling the injectors fixes that.

Buly,

water IN the injectors is pretty unlikely - I use and actually change a fuel filter regularly - The Toyota filter is made to seperate water, never any problem.
However if you imply water drops hitting the injectors....
Anyone else?

Thanx Buly,

TJ

Thomas, my bet is on dirty injectors. I would suggest servicing them. Any water in the injectors most likely will blow the tips off I was told.

Hi all,

First HAPY NEW YEAR!! to all of you! :))

Question:

A couple of weeks ago, someone (I think it was Lynn....) mentioned feeding waterspray into the throttlebody/carburator  at around 2000 rpm (piston engine) to clean any deposits from  the cylinder/piston/ turbo/etc.
The discussion was about cleaning lead deposits from  sparkplugs in the Rotary, me thinks....
I wonder if anyone of you is also a Dieselhead (besides the Rotary:)):
Would this procedure help with a small Turbo-Diesel? (Toyota  3L Turbo Diesel).
It runs great, but starts to puff small black clouds if I  really rev it (Redline 4400 rpm). Smoke puffs start at around  3300 with pedal on the floor - under full load.
I wonder if this is only some carbon deposits in the exhaust or a dripping injector or ???
I am running Acetone in the fuel (so far good results....).
The engine has close to 110K km on it.
I don't mind testing something, but if it is a definite no-no,  I would like to know up front - it IS my daily driver.
The engine is runnnig on Mobil Delvac 1 (The Mobil synthetic  for Diesels)

If it makes any sense to clean the engine with water spray no and then, please advice!!

Thanx,

Thomas Jakits
